Amine Adli is joining Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth from Bayer Leverkusen
Bournemouth have signed midfielder Amine Adli for £25.1m from Bayer Leverkusen.
The 25-year-old is the Cherries' seventh signing of the summer and has joined on a five-year contract.
The Morocco international primarily plays as a number 10 but has also featured on both flanks and up front.
Adli played 143 matches for Leverkusen, scoring 10 goals and providing 12 assists in 42 games in 2023-24 as they won the Bundesliga and German Cup double under former manager Xabi Alonso.
Bournemouth have now spent nearly £350m on signings under the ownership of American billionaire Bill Foley, who took over the club just before the January 2023 window.
The Cherries have also been active in selling players - with defenders Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi all leaving for a combined £150m to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain respectively this summer.
Bournemouth are getting close to completing their summer business and are targeting a potential loan move for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, who the Blues would prefer to sell on a permanent basis.
